Why G is the logic word?

Tricky especially the last one

Probably the source is wrong

We need a word that describes a type of scrutiny that would expose the flaws in the hasty conclusion.

- Precipitous H should be the correct choice here because it creates a parallel with the "hasty" nature of the thought process. In this context, it suggests that the conclusion is so weak it wouldn't even survive a "sudden" or "initial" deeper look.

- Extraneous (G) means irrelevant, which doesn't fit "scrutiny."

- Overt (I) means "undisguised" or "plain to see," which is a less precise fit than the speed-based "precipitous."

Re: A highly intelligent person often thinks (i) _________ ; a few sni [#permalink]
My hunch is that the last answer is Precipitous. It corroborates with the meaning of the rest of the sentence because "steep scrutiny" would be appropriate as opposed to "irrelevant scrutiny", when we are dealing with hasty decisions taken by intelligent people.

Extraneous is wrong.

Extraneous - an overextension, irrelevant.

How irrelevant scrutiny can get the flaws caught?

Revisit the question, chief. Carcass
